In conclusion, Kanye West's recent actions exemplify a broader phenomenon: the erosion of traditional celebrity image control, replaced by a raw, often chaotic, form of self-expression driven by the digital age.

The conversation remains open—whether society can or should draw boundaries remains to be seen. As West and others continue to push these boundaries, cultural critics are left pondering the costs of a celebrity culture that values edginess over empathy and spectacle over substance.
